Abstract

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) has widespread implications in the software community. It involves not only the end-user, but the Quality Assurance (QA) team, developers, business analysts and top level management. UAT is conducted with the aim of developing confidence of the user in the software product. UAT is generally performed manually and not preferred to be automated. UAT frameworks exist for Agile methodologies such as Scrum. We propose a UAT process model which adapts the generic agile process model. Hence, it is able to encompass every agile methodology. AgileUAT, aims at generation of exhaustive acceptance test cases in natural language, based on acceptance criteria. It indicates whether the acceptance criteria is fulfilled or not, as a percentage value. The tool illustrates traceability among epics, user stories, acceptance criteria and acceptance test cases. We explore several different templates for user stories and acceptance criteria. In the future, we aim to provide a direct mapping between the acceptance criteria and acceptance test cases based on permutations and combinations using decision tables.
